Thanks for the pictures CW!
 
I love these Jeep threads, especially when people start to post the pictures of their passion.

Thanks sir!
 
 There isn't too much stock left in it!!  I haven't been inside the engine... I did put new Intake, Throttle body, Header and Exhaust system... The body is mostly stock with add ons ;)
 The drive line consists of a front axle that was swapped to a 760 jointed, alloy shafted, Hi pinion D30 that I re geared to 4:10 and a Aussie automatic locker. Its connected to another HD Dakota NV231 Tcase W/ wide chain, 6 planetary gears from a 4:1 kit and a slip yoke eliminator kit. The AX15 was swapped for a NV3500 tranny (B&M shifter) and Tom Woods drive shafts front and rear. Rear axle is a 31 Spline Ford 8.8 factory geared 4:10 with a ECTED electric locker. Currently rolling on 35" BFG Mud Terrains.
Inside:  Corbeau suspension seats, DURA BACK liner on floors. Full roll cage with extra lateral supports above, on the sides and in the back. The results are a very safe, stiff, and positive feel.

Hope I haven't bored anyone... I'm prowd of "Eugene"!

I was beginning to worry about my manhood with the Liberty being the choice of teenage girls and CW's wife havin' one name "Libby". ::)   But all is not lost as a fellow a couple of miles west of me has one with what has to be at least a 6 inch lift kit and some fairly agressive lookin' rubber. ;D   I am hopin' his lift kit is from buyin' after market parts and not the used running gear from a CJ5, near dark and couldn't see the front axle.

In my case (an old graybeard with an oxygen bottle) I would think the magnetic properties of the Jeep would be more than cancelled out. :(

I have seen a couple of Liberty's on 35's and they still don't look too manly to me.  Sorry if I offended anyone.  The whole new jeep line up isn't very manly with the exception of the wrangler.  It is borderline.  They added a lot of creature comforts to appeal to your non traditional jeepers.  Not anyone could hop in a pre 2005 jeep and take off.  They were a special case to drive.  If you didn't know what you were doing you would be all over the road with one.

My daily driver is a '99 Cherokee Sport 4.0 straight six 5 speed with 238K miles. In the warm weather I average 25 mpg commuting to work. I'm going to drive it into the ground. A guy I know had an '87 Comanche with 335K miles on it. He only junked it because the frame rotted, he drove it to the scrap yard still running good.

The recycler probably didn't scrap it, but kept it for a yard vehicle. ;)

 That's what I would have done with it :)
 
 I also had a 71 International Scout and an 81 AMC Eagle SX4 back in the day, each had the classic Jeep 258.

I just got finished building a Handi Gun Shelf in my jeep.  There isn't any good place to put a gun rack in a TJ.  So I built an overhead shelf that goes between the roll bars.

I haven't taken mine off-road in two years now. But since I first got it it saw many miles on class 6 roads as well as a number of hard core rock crawling.
I drive slow and easy, Slow as you can, fast as you have to... I did put it on its side once.. it was like slow motion (In reality, not just to me) and only put two small dents and broke the mirror. We where able to "rite" it and off I went completing the trail.

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee (plush Butt model).  Found it after we totaled a Ford Escape.  Bought it down at big retirement place, Sun City Az., at an estate sale.  Had under 19000 miles on it.  After 6 years with us it still has less than 60000 miles on it and the Michelin aftermarket tires.  Tires are too stiff but I am too cheap to replace them until they wear out.  Wife and I have taken it places where we were probably pushing the envelope but we always got out.  Here in Az you always carry water, water, water, first aid, iron rations, a cell phone and my personal addition is an H&R Handi 20ga cut down to 20" barrell with a 34" overall length.  I have been Talked toby both Navajo and Apache police.  Never got any hassle with them about the shotgun in the back seat.  My wife though let me have an earful for taking up so much time talking about the way I did it with the Native police.

 After buying my 83 CJ-8 Scrambler I quickly learned two things, 1. Jeep actually stands for "Just Empty Every Pocket" and that if you are not careful 4wd drive will just enable you to get stuck in a more inaccessible place.  :)

my suggestions would be don't ever use the back windows they will fail, and get a 4 wheel alignment every month or it will eat front tires, probably just the one we had but i went through 10 set of fronts in the 6 months i had it, until a local shop did a 4 wheel and the last set made it 2 months

I bought a set of tires for mine back in 2003, and finally this past spring I put on a new set.
 
Didn't really need them, but didn't trust them due to age!  Never had an alignment problem at all, and I drove it through some ruff terrain on many occassions.
 
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've spent less money on this vehicle on repairs than any of the dozen of other vehicles I've owned over the years.
 
Just maintainance, and she just keeps on keeping on!....198,000 miles and counting!

My first was a 57 Wagon with the F head four banger.  Gutless.  Another GI traded me a 6" Model 29 S&W for it, and we were both happy.
Second was an 88 Cherokee with the 4.0 and AW4.  Could not cure the overheating, blow the plastic tank thing, and gave it to my son.  It was a decent rig, but a pain in the butt to have to stop and switch bottles when it split halfway up a hill.
Then, a friend of mine in Michigan gave me a 47 CJ2A, original, but I have to go get it, just waiting till I get enough bucks saved up for the round trip from Idaho.
I owned a 79 CJ7 for awhile, but as soon as I got the steering fixed, and the carburetor on the 258 working well, a local Dr. offered me a LOT more than I had in it, and let it go.  Haven't missed it a bit.
Currently, I'm driving a 98 Cherokee Sport, four door, 4.0 AX15 five speed, and have to admit that I like, really like, the Chrysler injection a LOT more than the RENIX on the 88, and a real cooling system.  I also have got a best of 27 mpg out of it on several trips, but with a load in, it does about 22.  This one is a Billy Goat, but all of the bushings and shocks are about shot, so I'm contemplating a lift and bigger tires, but I'm thinking of going Dana 60's out of an old F350 Ford front and rear, a slip yoke eliminator, new driveshafts, and have been looking at the Chev small block/700R4 conversion from Novak Enterprises while I'm at it, if this 4.0 EVER dies.  I'm also thinking of stripping out the entire electrical system and starting over.  Hell, I figure a drunken monkey could do a better electrical system than Chrysler has EVER put together!
Still, I miss my old 72 Bronco the most........
